Is it le-monkey or lemon-key? It's really up to you, but whenever I read it I think le-monkey. I respond to either in public.

Is it le-monkey or lemon-key? It's really up to you, but whenever I read it I think le-monkey. I respond to either in public.

I'm a game developer / Flash, iPhone, .Net and Web 2.0 engineer who has recently relocated to San Francisco from Chicago in June 2009. I hold a BS degree in Computer Science from the University of Iowa but I'm also 1 semester short of a BS degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (aka Engineering Mechanics) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I was fortunate to have worked on a variety of cool projects including the X-391 Human Powered Helicopter contest (we built our own kiln to cure carbon fiber spars) and the Beckman Hexapod project (where I helped run stress tests as part of my senior design project) among other things.

I've been on Usenet since around 1989 (here's me from 1990 http://tinyurl.com/y9r9up2) and EFNet since around 1991. The majority of my BBS exploration was limited to the 708 and 312 area codes during the 1980s. I feel fortunate to have been at UIUC in the early 90s where I was able to witness the birth of the WWW/Mosaic/etc. with the help of NCSA and the university.

Oh, and one of my letters (not article) to 2600 got published a long long time ago, but it is embarrassing looking back on it now. Ask me and I can dredge up the issue it was printed in.
